Can you switch your vote in Illinois from voting for a republican in the primary election to voting for a democrat in the general election?

Yes. There is no obligation to vote for the party you affiliate with; the general election is held using a private ballot, meaning even if it were illegal, it would be impossible for anyone to ever find out if you had voted Democrat and not Republican.Registering to vote for a party simply entitles you to vote in any open primary in your area; it is not pledging support for that party at that general election. It is not at all uncommon in US elections for registered Republicans to vote Democrat in the general election, or vice-versa, and it is legal in all the States with registration.

If you voted Republican eight years ago do you still have to vote Republican in this election?

If you believe that another candidate from another party will do a better job for you, your family, your home, and your country, no you do not have to vote Republican. Registering Republican helps Republican candidates, committees and policies direct to your attention in primary elections, but in the general election, even if they send you mail and press coverage, you are free to vote for any candidate, any party, any policy in a general election.

How many registered republicans in the US?

The American political parties, including the Democratic Party and the Republican parties are actually each 50 political parties. The nature of political parties in the United States is a function of each of the 50 states. So there is a Texas Democratic party and a Nebraska Democratic party and a Republican New York party and so on. Each state constructs its own rules for political parties within the borders of that state.Unfortunately for your question not all of the states have a system that registers voters in one political party or the other. So you have what is called an "open primary." That means that a registered voter does not declare his or her party affiliation when he or she registers, but when he or she votes in the party primary.For example in Texas you could wake up on primary election day (not the general election day) and decide which party primary you wish to vote in. It is your choice. After you vote, say in the Republican Party primary your voter registration certificate is stamped "Republican." That stamp has very little meaning unless the party has another primary election in the time before you get a new voter registration card (usually each year.)And on the general election day, usually the first Tuesday in November, you can still vote for whichever candidates you choose. It is a secret ballot.The best measure for Democrats and Republicans is probably the General Election Day for President of the United States every four years. In the last election 52% voted Democratic and 47% (ironic, huh?) voted Republican.In the 2012 general election 65,907,213 persons voted Democratic and60,931,767 voted Republican.Of course, in the United States of America we do not elect our President by popular vote. What really counts is the electoral college. And that is the answer to another question.
